Effectiveness of radio-navigation systems

The rapidly developing radio-navigation system (RNS), in Russia, as well as abroad, becoming an integral part in the life of the state as a whole, as well as of any structural unit in it. As a result, the consumers of RNS increase the demand for quality of communication service, security, functionality in the cost of its purchase and use. The aim of this work is the study and the qualitative analysis of the effectiveness of use of radio navigation systems. The paper describes the main challenges of RNS, as well as possible solutions. A generalized block diagram of the basic communication performance of RNS (economic, technical, operational, functional) is presented. On the basis of the results of this paper the authors propose a method of research and evaluation of the radio navigation systems in combination with other navigation means.
